Monsters taking over

What do you do when you’re sick and sad & lonely because there’s no one to take care of you or even talk to?

You become one of those weirdos who creates their own friends.

It hasn’t been a great week – mostly because I’ve been sick (not H1N1 or anything, but pretty miserable for most of the week). And I’ve fallen in love with the Danger Crafts creatures (so much I started my very first Ravelry group for them) So I spent most of the week in isolation (to keep whatever I had to myself) making several for gifts…and for myself.

First is Crowley. He’s my favourite.

His favourite book is Good Omens, which he is named after. I used some old Merino Style I had in the stash, so he’s soft & sweet.

He’s slightly big & dopey but loves everyone around him. He also thinks the Toy Story movies are the greatest ever (Rex is his favourite). I used some beautiful Araucania Limari (alpaca, silk, merino – yum) I bought on clearance at Tuesday Morning & while I could have saved it for a scarf or something, I decided it should be a big green monster instead. He was going to be for one of my nephews but, while this is such soft yarn, it’s not great for a messy 4 year old. So now he’s my hugable monster

Adorableness! And Crowley is definitely one of my favorite people–I think I have just bought my 7th or 8th copy of Good Omens, because they keep vanishing. The other guys are cute, too–and hopefully your big green monster will turn out to be a germ slayer!
